As we head into the Fall months, many of us are reflecting on our achievements in 2024. We invite you to join us on August 16 for an enlightening session on how strong leadership can propel organizations forward. Our upcoming session, "Great Leaders Leading Great Organizations with a Clear Path Forward," will provide invaluable insights into the pivotal role of leadership in shaping the success of any organization. An organization rises and falls with the strength of its systems and processes but can only rise to the level of its leadership. Join us to explore how you, as a leader, play a critical role in the DNA of your organization.

Last week was difficult for the Houston area with the arrival of Hurricane Beryl. Many of us are still working diligently to repair buildings, get power back in our homes, and resume our normal day-to-day lives. AFP Greater Houston is here to help our community connect with each other as we all recover from the storm. We have heard so many inspiring stories of how people have been able to help one another during this time, so we encourage you to share your stories with us! Comment below to share what you're doing to help our community move forward.

One of the many benefits of AFP membership is the opportunity to #network, foster community building and collaboration. On July 24th, join us virtually to hear from our AFP Houston leadership, learn more about the member benefits you receive from AFP Global and AFP Houston, and learn about the chapter’s many programs and volunteer roles.
